Hi, I just added the side scroller and 3D game into one exe, which was a nightmare, VB refused to unload my forms, I ended up using boolean and after boolean, and alot of do while commands, but eventually it worked, and was stable. [It's the same SS and 3d game you played]. I added alot of interested features this beta, alot with an assistant who can do alot...such as get in line of fire, shoot, miss, it affects your score. Shooting will cause you to loose health. Score posting was also removed from the menu and made into a press y or n prompt as the main menu refuses to work after I switch forms. [It doesn't really matter, I think the y/n is easier for the user]. Once you beat Shoot Da Me, you are prompted to enter your score. Then the text logs are generated, and you are brought into the side scroller, and then the 3D game, and then ultimately the boss.
I am kind of sick of coding this game...I had lots of fun with the 3D game. I am also running out of ideas for bosses. My dodging the boss idea was not successful, I was wondering what the users think will be successful. I was thinking you have to dodge him for 20 times. Then he's re-loading, you have to shoot at him. 1/5 of the time your shot will miss (randomly after your shoot), you have 2 seconds to shoot at him. You then re-dodge 20 times and again you have 2 seconds to shoot and your shoot 1/5 of the time, and so on. He needs to be shot let's say 6 times. If you miss dodging, you will be dead, and have to re-play the game! I was also considering adding the occasional item, such as an extra life for future use in the games. I can take the items in Form1, and store them in a module for that specific game, so it can be easily accessed by the Side Scroller (Form2) and 3D (Form3) and the boss (Form4). I am looking forward to your response. Once the boss is complete, I will send it out to my beta testers. How long the boss will take I don't know, a week, maybe two weeks. It's been about 2 of 3 months since the release of Shoot Da Me (SDM) Beta 3. After Beta 4 (what I am coding for), SDM will be on minimal development while Dream City and my typing application will be on maximum. Dream City will take a while to code. What would make the job many many months less if you would access a menu, and go to the place from there instead of walking in a 3D environment to it. There has been a score posting bug STILL unresolved. I've added a statement of sapi to speak where I think this happens. It will say check anyway.
